What If…? - Second Season

Asgard's nightmare is the same in many realities.

The flames of Ragnarok.

In your universe, Odin entrusted the Tesseract

to a village on Earth after achieving an age of peace.

But in this universe, fire came for Asgard before he had the chance.

I am Asgard's doom.

No!

The destruction of Asgard would lead to

new wonders from a single ember of the past.

The Tesseract survived Ragnarok

and would find a new home in a new world.

Time.

Space.

Reality.

It's more than a linear path.

It's a prism of endless possibility,

where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities,

creating alternate worlds from the ones you know.

I am the Watcher.

I am your guide through these vast new realities.

Follow me and ponder the question...

"What if?"

Come on, let's go!

Wáhta, hurry up!

Kahhori...

Kahhori, would you slow down. I'm almost...

I'm waiting.

Thanks. I just...

Keep up!

Come on!

Kahhori!

I need air.

And water.

And preferably a lot of them.

Uh...

I wouldn't drink anything around here.

Kahhori.

We're not supposed to go near the old battlefield.

The elders said so!

This place is cursed.

It's cursed because no one cleansed it after all the bloodshed.

Calm down and listen.

You can hear them.

Them?

The lake contains a great power.

Power enough to take us to the Sky World.

These people fought for control of the lake...

when it should have brought them together.

Together?

The lake ate people!

Big, strong, muscle-y people went into the lake and then...

The Forbidden Lake...

...is a puddle.

No, this can't be it.

What's so forbidden about this?

There's ducks.

Mmm.

Huh?

Thunder?

The village...

Monsters.

Go!

Hey! Get back here!

After them!

Come on, quickly!

Hey! They went this way!

Spread out!

Follow them!

Over here! Come on!

Up the hill!

Don't let them get away!

Wáhta! -

Look! Over here!

What is this?

Come on.

You were right.

It's all real.

The elders were wrong...

that lake was...

A decoy lake.

With decoy ducks.

Hey! Listen!

What do we do? -Go. Hide.

They can't have gone far.

Any sign of them?

I think I found what we're looking for.

Hey! Come out!

Hey!

Kahhori!

Did you get her?

Yes.

Easy...

Easy, sister.

Welcome to Sky World.

After the fall of Asgard,

the Tesseract took on a second life among Kahhori's ancestors.

Breaking on impact, the Cube released unmitigated Space Stone energy,

gifting its power to the lake.

Warriors, adventurers and other noble tribespeople disappeared into the waters,

never to return.

Greed and grief ignited a terrible battle amongst the surrounding nations.

In the end, peace was made,

and the lake's blood-soaked shores were deemed cursed,

deterring all from returning to it.

Well, all but one.

Wáhta?

Wáhta?

How is this possible?

That blue light you fell through?

Its spirit seeps into everything--

the water, land, plants.

When we eat their spirits,

we take in some of its power too.

Just being here will change you.

How...? What...?

Who are you?

Okay, let's do this backwards.

"Who?" I am Atahraks.

I'm Kahhori.

Pleasure to meet you.

"What" is pretty amazing.

And "How?"

You fell through the portal in the lake.

The Forbidden Lake.

It's forbidden now?

Yeah, that's probably a smart move.

Lotta people went missing in that lake when I was a kid...

including my cousin.

But look, he's here.

Hey, what's up? -Hello!

Thank you, Mister... you.

But I have to go home--

Home! My village! We were attacked.

Wáhta!

Kahhori, you can't--

Kahhori!

Kahhori!

Kahhori?

We fall into this paradise.

We do not age. We do not die.

Because we are meant to be here.

Permanently.

The name is Conquistador Rodrigo Alphonso Gonzolo.

And in the name of Queen Isabella of Spain,

I have come to claim...

The Fountain of Youth.

I have heard your legends.

You fear this land.

Fear its power.

The Fountain of Youth.

Your "lake".

Forbidden Lake?

Where is it?

Where?

Where?

Commander!

What do you want?

We found it.

The land wants to help you, Kahhori.

Good, then it can take me home.

Look, I know this isn't where you want to be,

but the waters brought us here for a reason. Slow down.

Feel the spirit of this place.

See for yourself.

Whoa. Quick learner.

What kind of clay are you made of?

Wolf.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Got some turtle in me myself.

There's so many things we can do with these powers.

How can you tell me they have a limit?

Plenty have tried to leave.

They all failed.

The portal's just out of reach.

Then they weren't trying hard enough.

Or maybe... this place became their home.

That won't be me.

Good luck...

The record's fourteen steps.

But the wind's a little strong today.

This isn't paradise.

It's a prison.

Kahhori.

Huh?

The hunt!

The hunt?

You'll love it!
